Introduction What are Regulating Valves (PRVs) used for? Steam, liquids and other gases are typically transported through piping systems at relatively higher pressure than ultimately needed and therefore need to be reduced to a lower pressure at the final point of use. The purpose of the Regulating Valve (PRV) is to reduce the pressure of steam, liquid or gas to a lower pressure appropriate for its final application. All pressure regulating valves are self-operated, which means they do not require any outside source of power such as air pressure or electric actuators to operate. In contrast, Control valves do require an outide source of power to actuate the valve. All pressure regulating valves are Self-Operated; however, they are categorized as either Direct-Operated or Pilot-Operated. The Pilot-Operated are either Piston-Actuated or Diaphragm-Actuated. Direct-Operated O-Series for Steam, Air & Water 455-Series for Steam B-Series for Water & Liquids. O-Series B-Series 455-Series Direct-operated pressure regulating valves are the simplest in design and the most economical to purchase and therefore should be used whenever suitable. The downstream pressure of the steam or liquid being regulated is used to position the diaphragm and valve disc to control the amount of flow through the valve. Downstream pressure adjustment is easily made by turning the adjustment screw to increase or decrease compression on the control spring. The limitation of the direct-operated type regulator is a variation of up to 10% of initial set pressure depending on changes in flow through the valve. As flow requirements through the valve increase, the outlet set pressure will tend to decrease. For example; pressure is 100 PSIG and downstream pressure is adjusted to maintain 50 PSIG while 250 lbs/hr of steam flows through the valve. If the steam flow rate happens to increase to 500 lbs/hr, then the outlet pressure would drop to 45 PSIG. Direct-operated regulators are suitable for many less critical uses in the low-to-moderate flow range including small heaters, humidifiers, hospital equipment, tire molds, typical applications in food processing, as well as many other general uses.

Introduction Pilot-Operated Piston-Actuated 403-Series for Steam, Air & Gas Applications Pilot-operated piston-actuated pressure regulating valves contain a separate pilot valve which is mounted on top of the main valve. The valve senses the downstream pressure (low pressure side) and precisely modulates a small amount of steam from the upstream side (high pressure side) to the top of the piston chamber, which in turn controls the opening of the main valve. When steam demand increases and downstream pressure starts to drop, the valve is opened further, allowing for additional flow. Pilot-operated piston-actuated regulators have increased accuracy and consistency of set pressure when compared to the Direct-operated type. Set pressure is more stable and will only vary a few percent over the full flow range. Downstream pressure sensing is either done internally (internally sensed) or by using an external pressure sensing line (externally sensed). The piston-actuated valves are more compact than diaphragm-actuated valves; however, since the piston has more friction than a freely flexing diaphragm, they are not quite as accurate. These valves can be used for low-to-high flow applications or when larger flow rates or more accurate pressure control is required than can be achieved with direct-operated pressure regulators. External Sensing (standard) (requires sensing line) External Sensing Line Reduced Steam Connection Point for External Sensing Line Internal Sensing Path 403 Series Regulator FLOW Internal Sensing Option (Specially drilled internal sensing path eliminates the need for an external sensing line) Steam Reduced 403 Series Regulator Pilot-Operated Diaphragm-Actuated Pilot-Operated Diaphragm-Actuated PRVs contain a separate pilot valve mounted externally to the main valve. The pilot valve senses the downstream pressure (low pressure side) through an external sensing line which in turn controls the opening of the main valve. The sensitivity and frictionless motion of the diaphragm, in combination with using a control pilot, make this style of regulators the most accurate. Downstream pressure can often be controlled within 1-2 % of initial set-pressure. Refer to Watson HD-Series for steam applications. Tel: 610-495-5131 Pottstown PA USA www.watsonmcdaniel.com 245

Balanced seat and disc design allows these valves to be used in applications with low inlet pressure; down to 5 PSIG. Unlike pilot-operated valves, the 455 does not contain any small pilot orifices and are therefore less susceptible to issues caused by dirt and pipe scale. The 455-Series is installed using an external sensing line which is connected several feet downstream of the valve. Placing the pressure sensing location out of range of valve discharge turbulence makes it more accurate in controlling downstream pressure. Features Operates with minimum inlet pressure of 5 PSIG Stainless steel internals Excellent for use in steam systems that contain excessive amounts of pipe scale and other contaminants balanced valve & seat for more precise control of downstream pressure Options & Notes: Must Specify Spring Code when Ordering: Use the 455 Spring Selection Table to specify the proper spring(s) based on valve size and reduced pressure range by Replacing the X with Spring Code from chart. Example Model Codes: 1) 455-15-N-65 (455 Series, 1 1 /4 NPT, 1-6 PSIG outlet pressure) 2) 455-18-F125-73 (455 Series, 2 1 /2 125# Flanged, 40-70 PSIG outlet pressure) Note: Flange selection may reduce pressure/temperature ratings.

Not available on 2 & 3 models. How it Works The Relief Valve is actuated by the sys tem pres sure on the inlet side of the valve. Valve loading is provided by a spring. The ad just ment is done by re mov ing the cap and rotating the screw clockwise or counter-clockwise. Spring load balances against the opening force of the up stream (or re lief) pressure. Valve will open at the slightest increase in pres sure above the spring set point, and will close when the excess pressure has been re lieved. The higher the system pressure is above the relief set point pressure, the more flow the valve will pass. It is therefore typical to specify the maximum capacity of a back pressure relief valve at 10% and 20% over set pressure. To Tank or Suction Side of Pump (Relief or bypass flow) R-Series or 10691 Protection Against Over-pressure Condition Relief or Bypass R-Series or 10691 Pump System Discharge Bypass flow occurs when the discharge pressure exceeds the relief valve set point pressure Discharge Pump A Relief Valve allows water to recirculate through the pump even when the discharge valve on the pump is completely closed. As a rule, a minimum of 20% of the pump capacity must recirculate to prevent overheating of the pumped liquid.
